Chapter 220 - Apology (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Amman was extremely regretful. If he had stepped in to stop Milo earlier, the situation would not have grown so big. Even the Pharmacists Guild could not help but be subservient towards Andoine. Now that they had provoked Andoine, what would be in store for them?

“Alright, let me hear how you explain it.” Although Andoine’s tone was calm, his frown was very obvious. Even morons could tell that the Legendary-mage was completely furious!

There was no reason for Andoine not to feel anger…

Andoine’s relations.h.i.+p with Lin Li was closer than that of any mentor and student. Having lived together at the Sunset Mountains for two months, they had already forged an impenetrable relations.h.i.+p long ago. Andoine saw how Lin Li improved over the period of time—from a clueless rookie to the masterful Archmage today. Not only that, Lin Li had also taught everything he knew about pharmaceutics to him. How would this relations.h.i.+p be comparable to any other mentor-student relations.h.i.+p?

If not for that, how would the lazy Andoine care to nag at Lin Li and advise him on what to look out for? Why would he get rid of the trouble caused by the Marathon Family before Lin Li could even tell him?

Looking at how Andoine treated Lin Li now, instead of calling him Lin Li’s mentor, it would be more applicable to call him his nanny.

However, Andoine’s concern was reasonable…

He had set great prerequisites for his potential students to meet, but only managed to accept Lin Li as his student in his old age after a hundred years. How would he allow Lin Li to be accused of anything when he could not bear to speak harshly to Lin Li himself?

Not to mention Amman’s status as president in the small Thunder City Guild of Magic, even if it were Aldwin’s son, he could just beat him up if he wanted to.

On top of that…

Andoine was sulking secretly. Since it was Lin Li who’d taught him his pharmaceutical knowledge, if Milo were to suspect Lin Li, it meant that he was suspecting him too. Since Milo felt that Lin Li was in cahoots with a con man just by wanting to buy some herbs from him, did he suspect himself of being an accomplice as well?

He could not endure it…

When he thought of that, he was itching to fight. His glare towards Amman showed signs of danger.

“M-Master A-A-Andoine, the situation was like this…” Amman broke out in cold sweat when Andoine glared at him dangerously. He tried to hint the pharmacists around him to help him put in a good word while he told Andoine about the matter in a stutter.

Amman was terrified. He did not dare to show any bias for his student. Everything he said was true. Even Lin Li, who was one of the directly involved parties, could not find any fault in his words.

As Milo stood there, cold sweat trickled down his pale face.

Until now, even a fool could tell that Amman had no ability to side with his student anymore. When the president himself was unable to save himself, how could he care about his student? As for what consequences Milo would face, it depended on Andoine’s decision…

Actually, the process was not complicated at all. It was just Milo finding trouble for himself by accusing Lin Li of being in cahoots with a con man. As for what happened after that, it was just bickering between two youths.

Although the process was not complicated, Amman took a long time to explain the situation.

“Then, you’ve arrived…” After finis.h.i.+ng what he had to say, he peeked at Andoine’s reaction in fear.

“Yeah,” Andoine said as he nodded his head, but did not stop frowning. He turned to Lin Li, and asked, “What do you think?”

“Me?” Lin Li asked while he scratched his head in confusion.

If one were to really talk about the situation, it was just Milo making a fool of himself. Lin Li had the confidence that Milo could learn how to better express himself. If Milo’s mentor could not teach him, Lin Li did not mind to do it physically. He was just holding himself back when Milo wanted to fight just now…

Unfortunately, Milo did not dare to utter a single word when Andoine came over.

Lin Li pursed his lips.

You ask me what I would want to do? I can’t even teach him a lesson, because you didn’t allow me to…

Lin Li could not think of a way to deal with Milo at all.

“Forget it…” Ultimately, Lin Li could not help but shake his head. “It was no big deal after all. Just let him apologize to Shaun.”

“Who is Shaun?” Andoine was puzzled.

“Fatty, come over.” Lin Li asked the fat bandit over at once. He’d just realized that Andoine still had not met Shaun. “This is Shaun. I still wanted to buy some herbs from him. What an unlucky day…”

“Oh, hi Shaun.” Andoine loosened his frown when he heard the word ‘herbs’. He smiled at the fatso and then turned to look at Lin Li. “What herbs?”

“Some Tri-coloured Flowers. I will tell you more details later…” This batch of flowers was too important in the revolutionary technique of the refining of potions. If this news were to be known to others, things would be complicated. Now that Amman and his student were beside him, Lin Li would all the more want to keep it a secret.
